A couple of years ago I launched the Performers Health Hub app to connect dancers with specialist healthcare and evidence based information! It is my goal that wherever you are in the world you can find a dance specialist healthcare practitioner quickly and easy.
So I'm excited to announce that you can now apply to be listed on the app if you are practicing in the UK, USA or Canada. Head to bit.ly/JoinDLDS
For those in the UK you will be directed to apply to the wonderful @onedanceuk Healthcare Practitioners directory, for those in the USA and Canada you will be invited to complete an application form directly to Dance Longer Dance Stronger.
Looking forward to expanding the app further and building our Dance and health community. To download the app head to the Apple or Google stores and search Performers Health Hub!

TIGHT HIP FLEXORS?! Whether you’re sitting at a desk all day or a high level athlete everyone could use some more mobility in the hips. Here’s a couple variations to the traditional hip flexor stretch...give them a try and see which one you like the best! #HipFlexorStretch#HipMobility#TightHips

✨FOOT PAIN: CAUSES (Part 1)✨
-
Hey Tribe! I have been doing my LIVE videos on foot pain this week. I wanted to add in some quick IG videos to summarize. 💁🏼‍♀️
-
This is just a quick overview of things I see in the clinic that go hand in hand with lower leg dysfunction. ❌
-
1️⃣ Overpronation with Anterior Tilt
2️⃣ Poor Posterior Chain Activation
3️⃣ Limited Dorsiflexion
4️⃣ Poor Single Leg Stability
-
For more details check out my past LIVE videos on Facebook! 💻 All videos will be uploaded to YouTube this weekend as well. Link in bio 🙌🏼

Putting a face to the name 😊
▪️
I’m Emily. I’m a Level 3, soon to start my Level 4, qualified Sports Massage Therapist!
▪️
I qualified in August 2017 and made the move from a full time, salaried job into the world of sports Massage.
▪️
I am fascinated by soft tissue anatomy, movement and in particular what happens when there is a disconnect between the two.
▪️
I am working as a freelance Sports Massage Therapist at @knots_n_niggles In Sheffield.

Post Workout Recovery
___
Want to know the secret to recovery? It’s to breathe! Right here I’m practicing the 90/90 hip lift with a reach. This activity is used to facilitate the hamstrings to reposition the pelvis into posterior pelvic tilt and to internally rotate the left ribs via the right serratus anterior.
___
Now you might be asking, what might this be used for? This position is used to teach rib cage and pelvic control, true diaphragmatic breathing, and to restore to a parasympathetic state.
__
Exhale, Pause, Inhale, Dig Down, Reach Up. Do this for 3 sets of 4 breaths and see how you feel! What are your post workout routines? #TomCooperLMT

There continues to mount some good evidence that shows HA may be one of the key factors in perceived tissue tension, which is one of the main outcomes used during tissue assessment and one that dictates the necessity for manual soft tissue intervention.
—
HA is a GAG that resides in the extracellular matrix and is particularly abundant in all connective tissues both extramuscularly and intramuscularly.
—
It has a wide range of biological function most importantly from a manual therapy perspective it helps maintain the normal viscoelastic properties of CT, it controls tissue hydration and subsequent gliding of tissues as occurs during movement, it aids in the transmission of force propagated along muscular compartments and has signalling roles in cell differentiation and migration.
—
With changes in viscoelasticity due to changes at the tissue level as occurs during a lack of movement or overt immobility we now have an understanding that this results in an increase in HA concentration in the involved CT thus increasing viscosity and changing relative motion between the various layers of tissue within the area.
This will have effects on overall viscoelasticity.
—
These changes will manifest as changes within the stiffness of the ECM and can have downstream effects to the structure and function of both the extra and intramuscular CT.
—
Over time this may impede normal muscle structure (reduced # of sarcomeres) and eventually alter normal muscle function.
